I thought this book was absolutely lovely. Catherine Chung crafted a beautiful story about an immigrant Korean family that was as heartbreaking as it was sweet. I'm not going to lie, the ending had me in tears. I really felt for this family and I was invested from page one. Chung is a wonderful writer. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a family-centric story with all their flaws and regrets.

I will say, the description makes it sound like it's more mystery when it's really about a family and Janie's coming of age. This kind of discrepancy usually annoys me, but this story was so much better than what I was expecting.
